How We Work

As always, the goal of every Robert Kime design project is to convey a sense of place, colour, pattern and comfort within the context of the architecture and a client's lifestyle.

A touchstone of our interior decoration work is to create a sense
of safety; a place where past and present unite and interesting design
takes on a timeless effect that resonates today.

Robert Kime design projects, led by Orlando Atty and Claire Jackson, both trained by Robert, deliver projects large and small in the UK and abroad.

The Robert Kime team discusses
history, approach and sensibility...

Robert Kime Founder

"My enthusiasm around interior design grew out of a fascination with history and art; the idea being that a juxtaposition of elements makes for original and interesting rooms. Design projects today are the same as always - part interpretation, part reading between the lines, and part intuition." - 2021

Orlando Atty Managing Director

"Harnessing the integrity of Robert's approach to interior design, we realise that we don't really have a lot of rules. Instead we do what feels right for the room, the house and of course, the client. It all has to balance - just like shopping for antiques - there's the history and the tangible effect today - they have to add up."

Claire Jackson Head of Projects

"Since joining Robert in 2000 I learned from him that every house has an identity. Now, as then, we work hard to see how each client can get the most out of their home. No matter the size of the project, everything we do is for a reason which is satisfying for both client and designer, making for good communication and an enduring sensibility."

Billie Worrall-Thompson Project Manager

"I am fascinated by the depth and scope of the projects at Robert Kime Design and I focus on the layering of colour, pattern and quality craftsmanship to design comfortable homes, rich with character. Delving into our array of antique fabrics and collectables and working with client's tastes and visions, allows us to create unique, timeless interiors."

Kelly Jay Project Coordinator

"Guided by a layered approach, we work with our clients to create harmonious spaces which speak to the fundamental principles of Robert Kime Design. Appreciating the history of an Antique textile for example, brings undeniable authenticity to project."

Shaun Lovering Specialist Decorator

"I’ve been working with Robert Kime Design since 1998, adding the layers of decorative work that speaks to their sensibility of comfort and ease. While our work is often in period homes and listed properties, I use the same approach in all projects - creating a fine-tuned series of finishes that work well with the broader schemes, which in the end look as if we have never been there."
